You guys heard anything about this? All American Football League.

Anyone think this one will last?

This looks pretty interesting. It is an innovative concept, and will not try to compete with the NFL. I wouldn't mind watching a little football in the spring...

I think it's a novel concept with a chance at succeeding, but from what I can currently gather they don't have any type of TV deal in place. It appears some games may be broadcast on TBS, but not all of them.
Sounds like they're working on trying to team up with the NFL Channel (who will be starved for football content in the offseason now that NFL Europa has died) or going with some type of "subscribers package" so regional customers can get the games via their local cable companies.
Without a TV deal, I don't think they'll be able to cut it. Sponsors only want to advertise if they're going to be on TV and if that's not the case, I can't see the league holding up long.
